The Passion™
Ya love to see it
I hope he signs for what Kerfoot currently earns. Big ask, but with him, Knies and hopefully a healthy improved Robertson, our 3rd line could be very good.
Oh I had assumed they practised before the Buffalo game, and that’s why they were so much more in sync. Now I need to readjust~~ment~~ my expectations just a little bit higher…
Anyone else have a mini heart attack seeing his name first thinking he got injured at practice?
RYAN O’REILLY IS A LEAF
Coach’s pet.
Reminds me of Larry Robinson. I worked in an arena and we had New Jersey in for a practice when Robinson was coaching. After they finished up he stayed on the ice, move the nets for us during the flood and asked if there was anything that needed to be done before he left. Really nice guy.
“Control freak O’Reilly demanding to be involved in daily hockey ops, isolating from teammates.”
Imagine this is the real reason behind his stick curve, so that he can flip the pucks into the bag easier.
Please make it true.
He’ll soon use this to pop the puck over a goalie’s outstretched pads. Wax on wax off etc.
He stay
This was a great pickup. I would have preferred a similarly skilled defenseman, but O’Reilly has a lot of great qualities that I hope rub off on the rest of the team.
That means he’s not the one starting in net. Thank god.
Looks more like practice to me. Every puck he’s flipping is going in the bucket. Maybe like flipping the puck over a goalie’s pad into the net. Regardless – he’s obviously done it before.
How does such a big boy possess such soft hands ❤️
Blues beat writer Andy Stricklund said the media in St Louis called him the director of player development cause he would run a players practice after the coach got off then stayed on to help the younger guys.
The man just loves all aspects of hockey.
Can we keep him!? Please!?
Home is where the heart is 💙
Anyone else notice the bump on the back of his jersey near his name? What kind of equipment would do that? Looks like the hunchback of Nathan Phillips Square.
Daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry…. DADDY?? Sorry….
When I read the title, I thought it meant he was late for practice or something haha
He stay. (Please Kyle make it work).
i love him
He scores goals, he makes us not suck, most importantly he collects pucks.
Like just saying the team will never be this stacked Again!
…this guy 😏
SIGN HIM LONG TERM DUBAS YOU COWARD
What a fuckin beauty
The way the first sent ace is phrased makes it seem like he was late to his first practice
